The Indians belted out the 12 base hits off a .353 average and were aided with seven walks, two each from Maddy Brinkman and Kyla Killingsworth.

Leilani Niles, Daisy Hall and Bridgette McReynolds had a free pass each.

Last week was College App Week and Kara Watts and Elizabeth Kinsey, counselors at El Reno High School, asked me to speak to high school students about my college experience.

They wanted students to hear from people in the community who went to college and any advice they could give the students.
